What will people buy if they win?  I know I'll buy a calculator :)

If I get first, I'll probably buy a used Nspire (there's one for $70 on Amazon ;D).

Wow, that's a cheap nspire!

I think I'd probably just save it for a while, or buy this http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Largest-Giant-Gummy-Cherry/dp/B00315HJ8C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1284687685&sr=1-2

I'm currently in process uploading. And I got the fixed minesweeper btw

Ok so a long wait is in order. So during this time i'm going to focus on pulling my grades back up, last week was spent working on my entry and unfortunately had several important things due. You guys may not see me around for a while but you can be sure i'm coming back in time to see the results.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll try all of them and vote if I have any free time during the weekends. :P

It depends which legit online store still offers gift cards in the winner's country when he wins, though. I am not sure which online store that sells calcs, for example, is available in the Netherlands. I will also not accept random not-very-known stores, in case a scam occurs.

I think it is too early to talk much about results, because the poll hasn't been running for one day yet. I would prefer to wait until the end of the poll, like everyone does with ticalc.org.

I'm having problems with Ikkerens' entry... Nothing happens when I try to run it.

Strange, you compiled using 0.4.4 and included all files, right? Which OS version?

I didn't compile anything, the zip file contains only readme.txt and Splut.8xk. I did manage to get it working though. It was failing like that on a TI-83 Plus, but works on a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. Is this game somehow incompatible with non-84's or non-SE's?

Oh wait I forgot he asked me to remove the source (he forgot to tell me initially). I guess maybe he made his game 84+-only or Quigibo broke APP compatibility with the 83+.

Also welcome back btw :)

Some good entries here!
Ok, here's my breakdown on each of the entries.
(btw, please don't take offense to anything I say. I'm not criticizing.)

Parsec: Good concept, although currently there isn't much of a challenge. I'd like to see more variety in the AI/ships/weapons.

Simul: A new take on the classics! Adding multiple instances kept the game interesting. Level 2 was as far as I could get x.x

Blur: Classic tunnel game on caffeine. I understand the inspiration for the name.

Mansion Impossible: I have to be honest here. I couldn't figure out how to play this one.

Splut: Other than avoiding the falling blocks, I couldn't figure out the objective. The flag is probably the goal, but without being able to move the blocks, I'm stumped.

Mines4: Classic minesweeper clone. The undo feature is convenient. Allowing the player to hit a mine on the first selection should be changed.

AxePak: 3D pong is definitely my favorite game in the AxePak. I suggest allowing the user to retry by pressing 2nd/Enter instead of only Y/N.

HoMM: The graphics are very nice looking. I'm getting RAM clears when I battle, so I'm not sure on the gameplay.

Advance Wars: There is definitely high potential here. I look forward to seeing this game completed!

WFRNG: Dude, it's so amazing! :P What can I say but one word? Epic. This random numbers generator takes random numbers to a whole new level.

Space Dash: Very nice game here. Simple yet entertaining. I think a bit more variety would make this game even better. The custom font looks amazing btw.

Exec: I like what's here so far. I suggest making the jump height a function of the keypress duration. Also, maybe decrease the momentum slightly.

Jump: Very clean and simple. Similar concept to Space Dash. Also entertaining. I suggest making multiple tiers (high/low) to add some variety.


Overall, a very close competition.
